Thsir Ulaims-New state House.
DOVER, March 9.--The friends Of A.
T. Robinson, John II. Paynter and
Charles W. Cullen, Etqs, were here to-
day urging the claims of their respec.
tive friends claims TOR the vacant judR-
ship. The friends OF Mr.. Robinson are
very numerous end Are advancing very
strong Arguments In his favor, Mr.. 4. l..
Martins friends are by no means idle
and they are certainly very confident OF
his success. The knowing ones claim
that there fs no doubt Of his being
known In the future ~ Judge Mar.
tin" II this should he 90 there will be
music In the air and some loud kicking
will take place. Bat 81 10 known that
Governor Biggs does not mind thet .
great deal. The appointment will not
be made for some time yet.
The Governor assured your CORE.
sp0ndent that he would be In no hurry
70 appoint; that 1t was .. position that
sho1ld receive careful consideration be.
fore reaching decision. There Was no
need Of any great hurry, as there was
no court held until April where the
Judge was absolutely neoe ssAry. There
is not . great deal OF business before
the OrphAns' Court OF Sussex and what
there was could afford to walt. 1t Ia
safe, therefore, to say that no appoint
ment will be made until the first part oi
April. The appointment Of superin.
tendent of schools is the next one Of Inn.
portAnce that will be made. The can.
didates are T. Irving Handy, l. N.
Williams and Fl. 9. Carpenter.
The contest botweer these three gen.
tlemen IL very spirited, ard when It Ii
taken into consideration that the Cover
nsr Is against re appointments Mr.,
Hapdy's chances afa more than fair
Reg lister In Ohancery for New Castle
County will also be shortly appointed
aud unless another candidate appears
Fl. G. Johnson's chances for appoint
ment look very good as the signs Of the
times 60. There is, however, another
person who, IL is rumored, II candi
date, and II that person should decide
to want the office, Mr.. Johnson
chances would be considerably di
minished.
Senator Now horter's new Stat
House bill was introd aced In the Senat'
/ to day, and two hundred copies ordered
printed. 1t Was with considerable re-
giei that appearances look very mucl
that 1t has gone just about as far as 1
will 60.
This IL bad - the need Of new
building is very apparent. The ding
aud crsmped appearance OF the Old
building is disgrace to the State. Th'
main objection is that the State has no
the necessary funds available, and t,
increase the bonded debt at the presen
time Is not ad dvisable.
In . year from now II is expt cites
that the Pennsylvania Railroad viii
pay the 100000 mortgage upon thu
Delaware, Maryland and Virgins
Railroad, and then ut the next session
Of the Legislature the money will be OF
hand to erect the building.
The oleomsIgarine bill was reported
In the Senate to day without recon
mendation and then pigeon .holed b!
the clerk. Your correspondent doe
not profess to pose as prophet, but |
10 very likely that that pige0n-hol
will never be entirely empty.
City Councils conmittee and Git.
6olicit0r Turner are oown In force Ii
deposition to Mr.. Medill's bill TO chang
the market law, 30 as 10 only charR
the farmers two dollars rent for the us
Of the spaces for the entire year. Th
lOouncil's committee want to charg
them four. Just why they should b
;charged any more for the use of tn
Ispace than Is necessary for cleaning th
lstreet Ii hard for the farmers In th
Legislature to see. That ths farmer
lspend most all the money they receiv
in Wilmington is . well known fac
and ir, indeed, admitted. They brin
y large sum Of money into the city an
should be given extra privileges.
This market law has q peculiar hi
tory, and II ever the light of day ia II
Ia on the means used and reasons Il
It's passage, certain well. known an
Iprominept citizens would blush Il
, shame. L. was passed to be purposel
obnoxious to countrymen selling beef
the Wilmington market, and was draw
by . Wilmington official, not by Il
I direction OF Council by any means.
